You seem to know a huge amount about the Wakayama area. Have you been to the Kibune valley near Kyoto or Nyuto Onsen area? I'm hoping to get to some natural onsen in little villages if possible. I've already visited Yunomine (the boil an egg place) and that was v beautiful

thanks for any help. I'll get back to your links now

Sorry, I don't know the Kyoto area nearly as well. I lived in Hashimoto-shi for 2 years, right at the base of Koya-san, so that's the area I know best.

There are a few more onsens in the Hongu area, in addition to Yunomine:

There are tons of other ones scattered all through the prefecture (and the country). Shirahama is supposed to have a nice one. It's well out of your way this trip, but my favorite onsen in Japan was Dogo Onsen in Matsuyama.
